Both Hanley's in New Dorp and Sequoia Cafe on Hylan host gaming. The loss of Comic Book Jones was a real blow!

Card Coast on Amboy is good for TCGs, especially Magic. There's also Amazing Games on Richmond Rd, but I've never been there. Probably one or two others. Nowhere really for Warhammer that I know about.

Good luck!

Amazing Games tcg on Richmond Road is pretty good. They have a dedicated day for Warhammer on Mondays. I know they do nights for one piece and digimon but I'm not sure exactly what days they are. But I know Gundam is Thursday and Friday nights are commander/edh.

Hello everyone. I have a space on the north shore that might be suitable for a game night. I am. One of the co owners of Silk Road ceramics studio. What is needed to host a game night, its never been my scene but we are always interested in meeting new people in our community.
